Clothes-wringer.



that it does not interfere with the delivery of the clothes from the wringer rolls. lItl will be understood that if this latter guard vk.should have remained in its other position which is shown in dotted lines on the lefthand side of Fig. Z it would have materially interfered with such delivery. \Vhen it is desired to pass the clothes through the wringer from the other si le, that is from the left-hand side of Fig. 2, the direction of rotation of the Wringer rolls having been reversed, the drip board is oscillated to the dotted-line position whereupon the left-hand guard assumes the position shown in dotted lines while the right-hand guard is moved from the full line position to the dotted line position of Fig. 2. By means of my guards I accomplish the double purpose of guarding the wringer rolls and of preventing any interference or obstruction to the delivery of the clothes by the particular guard which y is not being used for guard purposes at the particular time.

I claim: l. In combination with a clothes wringer including its rolls, guards located on opposite sides'of the rolls and arranged to swing toward and away therefrom, and connections between the guards for alternately presenting the guards to the rolls for guarding purposes.

2. In combination with a clothes wringen including its rolls, guards located on opposite sides oi' the rolls and arranged to swing toward and away therefrom, and an oscillating drip board operatively connected at its opposite ends to the guards whereby as one ot' the guards is presented to the rolls the other is swung away therefrom.

il. In combination with a clothes wringer including its rolls, guards located on opposite sides of the rolls, guide rods which are arranged to oscillate on the wringer and on which the guards are mounted, and connections between the guards for alternately presenting the guards to the rolls for guarding purposes.

4. In combination with a clothes wriuger including its rolls, guards located on opposite sides of the rolls, guide rods which are arranged to oscillate on thewringer and on which the guards are carried and ar. also mounted to slide longitudinally o'l the guide rods, and connections between the guards for alternately presenting the guards to the rolls for guarding purposes.

(3. In combination with a clothes wringer including its rolls. guards located on opposite sides of the rolls, and in the torni of two plates each haring a horiz/.ontal slot and a series of apcrtured lugs, guide rods ar ranged to oscillate on the wringcr and passing loosely through the apertures of the lugs. and connections between the two plates i'or alternately presenting the guards to the rolls for guarding purposes.

7. In combination with a clot-lies wringcr including its rolls, guards located on opposite sides of the rolls, and in the i'orin of two plates cach having.r a horizontal slot and a series oi apertured lugs. guide rods ar ranged to oscillate on the wringer and passing loosely through the apertures oi' the lugs, an oscillating drip board, and pairs of links, pivotally connected at one end lo the opposite ends 4of the board andat the other-end to the guards.
